Is this Shining Gyarados a double holo variant?

I’m having some trouble identifying whether or not this is a double holo version, I’m leaning towards it being one but not 100% sure.

Its not

I would ask for another photo.

The double holo error (holo bleed error) has a small line of cloud ink visible to the left of Gyarados’ bottom jaw, and the holo pattern extends to all portions of the card.

It’s possible that this is one of those moderate holo bleed copies that I show in the thread below. Gyarados can be difficult to tell (especially in person), as the variant is less extreme than other holos in Neo Revelation (e.g., Ho-Oh, Shining Magikarp, Houndoom).

Yeah the Gyarados is not always obvious depending on the angle/lighting etc. but the 2 cloud lines that are usually the giveaway are slightly pronounced in this copy (in this photo) which is the main reason I thought it might have the error in the first place, and also the white wave cap line that extends between the boat and first white splash line to the left of Gyarados appears half thick and then much thinner on the right half on error copies, whereas it looks more uniform on normal copies, which the copy in the OP also seems to have?

But yeah I’ll ask for some more photos to try and get a more conclusive shot.

Think this pretty conclusively confirms it is indeed a double holo as I suspected?

Imo your copy is indeed a double holo.
